All editors are or should be

their patrons and friends. This edl-
tor c~onfesses to q sensation OF pride
and pleasure derived from the com
munication of a subscriber from the

from another subscriber at Durham,
Mr. J. S. Carr. He is as much
pleased with the communication and
postal card as the writer's were with
the communication from "Senex,"
and he thanks all of them.
The editor knows but little OF
Gen. Butler, and that little is from
history. He never heard Of Russell
before and does not know what be-
came of him or any q OF the thur

General Butler was more tender
footed on the battle field than other
Generals OF the old war. He com.
manded at the battle OF Guiltord
where all had to turn their backs
upon the British, He was q promi

DRADFIELD'S FEMALE REGU.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1887-03-12

When Democratic folly in Virginia as
sumes the form of the chronic blunder on
which the Republicans were wont to
count so much of their own chances of
victory, it is pleasant to hear something
that, like the mystic Eolus, seems to
whisper in the soft voice of the wind a
promise of sweet consolation and fair
weather. The soft CONSIDER is Hon. John
s. Wise, who declares that the Republi-
cans will snow us poor Democrats under
in 1888, and the gentle prognosticator, to
command unanimous belief, needs only
to recall his cOngratulatory telegram to
Blaine in 1894, announcing that Virginia
had gone for the Republicans.
We wonder if the Hon. John S. saw
his shadow on grounding day.

In the United States Supreme Court
in the case Of Cooper VS.. Fitzgerald, oul
esteemed friend, Attorney General Ayers
embodies in his brief the following re.
markable words:
If under the Constitution this court
had jurisdiction to pronounce judgment
against Virginia upon her obligations,
she would bow with becoming reverence
to its decision, and the litigation which
fills the Federal courts would end.
"But as it is, she declines to recognize
the authority of decision which assumed
TO adjudge her responsibility upon her
contracts in a suit to which she was held
not party"
So the State thus declares officially
that she does not recognize the judicial
authority of the highest court, and will
harry and worry her citizens with prose-
cutions under State acts declared uncon-
stitutional. What is this but nulliffca-
ton? And is it possible that set of men
think the people of the State will en-
dOrse it?

WHAT Is THE DIFFERENCE?

The Wing says, referring to the drum
mer's license-tax cases eve cannot af.
ford to enter into another contest with
the Supreme Court" Then, why not APP
ply the same reasons to the other contest:
The principle is exactly the same, and if
the State is held to be right in fighting the
United States Supreme Court on the cou-
pons, it is doubly and trebly bound to
maintain the principle of the fight in IAN
other contest"
There is no reason why we should
make ourselves ridiculous and run the
State to enormous expense by so doing"
says the Wing. Absolutely correct; but
then where is the ground for making our
selves ridiculous and accommodating dis
aster by the obstruction policy" in the
coupon war? The principles and the
issues would be the same, and the war
waged by the States would only increase
the disastrous results.

Stanley's relief expedition has made its
first marches and another week will take
him to the mouth of the Congo, and
there, it must be remembered, he will con-
tinue to have steam transportation for
ascending the river. 1t is possible, also,
that Emin is not in absolute straits, and
that so long as he does not attempt to re-
treat through the hostile territory of
Uganda he will not be molested at Wade
lai. At all events the preliminary stages
of the relief journey to Cairo, the Suez
Canal, Zanzibar, and Cape Town are fin
ished, and each step now taken will be
directly toward the station of Emin.

De Lesseps tells the German Empire
that he does not come on political mis-
sion, but to get funds for the Panama
canal. Poor old man Eads has died, his
soul laden with the whimsical idea OF a
ship railway across the isthnus The
model il still In the Capitol as a monu-
ment to the power of the lobby, and De
Lesseps' canal will only leave map and
10000 sacrificial victims on the altar Of
human credulity which could believe
that canal would be made when the
most competent engineers had decided,
after numerous surveys, that the thing
was impossible.
During all this magnificent speculation
in credulity at $1,000 share and all the
appropriations that the lobby could get,
the United States has allowed foreign
powers to intrigue for the key of the
Western Hemisphere, which, if held by
any European power, will put our coun-
try at disadvantage that will disas-
trously impede its progress. The point
is, how can any sensible member of Con-
gress fail to see that the Nicaraguan canal
is a perfectly practical scheme, underta-
ken by Americans of the highest charac-
ter and ability, and deserving the foster
ing care of great nation?
